Much as I don't like seeing giraffes burning, this looks awesome you two. Great movement and characters plus the giraffe coloring is amazing - like they are glowing! Not to mention the fiery and African looking looking landscape. Fantastic collab!

But on a side note, I'm confused about the rejectionator's pick-and-choose style this week. I want to say this is reinterpreting the artwork and not the artwork title and there are one or two other designs in the derby that suffer this same issue who are also not rejected. *sigh* I don't get it. Is it too hard to ask for consistency in rejections?

It's a darn cool shirt. Where are all the votes?!

Fantastic illustration. GMV!

It took a while for this shirt to grow on me, but even so, ever since the beginning, I was so so so (!) attracted by the yellow haha. And the regression into the mouth really draws you in. You've won my vote

Thanks for the support and comments on this guys. Yeah I knew that burning giraffes might not be everyones cup of tea but I just had to do it once I saw Bass' sketch There's some nice subs this derby and if I havn't commented on yours it's because I've had a really busy week so I apologize. Keep it up everyone. Thanks

love all of your work, just fan'd you on Facebook. I have to say one thing though. I've got a fairly messed up sense of humor, when I looked at this my first thought was that the hourglass was pooping out the rock and the look on the face was straining. >.<

I tried to comment on this the other day but the site was acting wonky. Rockwell is probably my favorite American artist and while this is in a much different syle this his, I think it still captures the feeling of his work. I love the inky sketch look and the varying line widths. Some one had commented on it looking French and I'd have to agree, almost like a drawing for a fashion line. Great work and fantastic first entry, I look forward to more from you.

BTW if this doesn't get a HM or EC print here, since it's probably not going to fog, resub it to threadless, it'd be a shoe in.

For the umpteenth time, this does reinterpret the title as well. Unless you think THE REAL OCEAN HAS HANDS.

This really is my favorite one. The biggest problem i see in it is the strides on the yellow foot print of the man, they look normal, except the first one, the starting point seems off when you match the strides with the rest.

otherwise, i think i might actually fork up the $10 to buy it.

Oh, and i forgot to mention the final footprint, i think it would have been cool to see it start to merge with the orange paitn instead of just lay on top of it. if you added those two details, this would be very artistic, otherwise it's just another rendering.

I absolutely love your entry. The only criticism I would offer is the boxy look the stars create at the edge of the template. I think reducing the size of the bird would allow the density of stars to lower nearing the edge of the template and lessen the box effect.

The score is a total (no bonuses on this board,,,) and poor Seurat has been so upset that he has passed on every turn! All in good fun.

Artistic license is fine. I had to ask, since all the words worked so well together except for composition.

Thanks so much for working with me again, TJost! I'm glad you were up for working on my somewhat odd and silly idea. We'll have to try another time...and not do animals on fire ^^; I thought these guys were so funny, but my sense of humor is kind of knee-jerk.

Note: I love giraffes and would never set them on fire. Also, I'm short, I can't reach their hairs anyways :\.
